Ha Ha, doesn't anybody like my pick up ?

 

There was a pick up?

Damn nice work fat141 and kudos to your french connection for posting the thread for you. an to everyone else make sure to go an check the album link at the begining of the thread , there is heaps of detail photo's.
An yes I dig your pickup , its Fat ....

 

Nice pair you got there Rod. The Tudor turned out especially well. There are a few personalized touches that set it apart. I am curious what cars the hood ornament and also the skirts are from, and I'm guessing the rear bumper is '50 Desoto? LEE

 

Very very nice!!!!

The fun thing is, I have a buddy here who has a 49-4 door, I spotted him a pair of nice coupe doors in CA last year for the future conversion, he took delivery of them very recently.
Those pics are very helpfull... you almost make it look easy

That glossy finish is just amazing, when you see how warped the panels you had to start with were, I dunno how many weeks you had to block that thing. In your place I would have probably gave up and been gone
for a satin finish.

 

very nice work, ive got a 4door merc that ive been wanting to do this conversion too i just gotta find some doors.

 

What's up ROMAIN!! Happy New Year. How your ride coming????

That is some fantastic work for sure. WOW.

 

I would sell both my nuts and my unborn child to be able to do metal work like that.
Nice Job!!!

The masking tape shows the line that a U.S. bodied 2 door sedan would follow

 

Beautiful car. Great craftsmanship. The interior is great as well. Is that the stock front seat?

 

Sorry mate, just read your post. Answer is yes

 

Very nice work and great paint job.

Hi Rod
I cant believe i missed this thread. I remember you talking about doing this conversion at that Sydney breaky get together at Homebush. THE CAR IS LOOKING EXCELLENT.

How did you get on with the flood hope all is ok.

Beautiful job! My kind of guy, does it with a MIG. I'd like to have a TIG but havent been able to spend the bux on one. Nice to see great craftsmanship being done without it.
